The President of the United States is likely the most threatened man in the world. As a man who is likely constantly running from impending assassination, it’s surprising that we are just now learning that the Obama Administration entrusts a Middle East company with the servicing of the President’s airplane.
An attack against Air Force One would be an attack on both the President and an Icon of American diplomacy, and is for that reason no doubt an attractive — if once unattainable — target for terrorists around the world.
With this revelation, though, a path to the president through the Middle East has been opened. While the White House is adamant that security measures are in place that would ensure that anyone with contact with the plane is thoroughly vetted, the question remains:
Why allow for the possibility in the first place?
USA Today has the facts on the next page. Check them out:
This is absolutely not true, nobody but United States Air Force works on Air Force One. And if there was a problem with Air Force One while overseas, there’s always two planes in the president would’ve simply hopped on the other one and came home while the Air Force worked on the one with the problem.
WTF? Is are Government that stupid?
Why do we not have qualify people here to do it!
This cant be real….
he obviously wants to have the power to escape the usa with this plane and all of its power to control this nation from somewhere else.join his allies and we all know who they are and then think he’s safe.And be the head of the islam movement to over come the world.
But it’s just not going to come together that easy for him.
well he better get one of his muslim brothers to take care of him as what good american would be willing to help him meet his maker
This is stupid
Oh God, NO! That plane cannot be allowed into Arab hands
Who in the hell in charge is that damn dumb?
Absolute BS, Air Force One is a part of the US Air Force, and is serviced by Air Force personnel. There is never a time when an Air Force plane has to go anywhere outside the USAF to be serviced and or repaired. Same thing applies to ALL branches of the Armed Forces. In fact I think its illegal to allow any servicing or repairs in a foreign country.
